£5 Christmas Stop-Motion Gift Box – Fab Fun & Easy For Kids
Make your own stop-motion Christmas story with the Sainsbury’s Story Studio app & animation kit Sainsburys thought we might like to try this kit out, and being as we’ve been making stop-motion clips for years I thought it was pretty much a no-brainer.
